SORRY THAT LAST CHAPTER WAS SO SHORT… MY COMPUTER SAVED IT INCORRECTLY. I HOPE THAT YOU GUYS LIKE IT! (BY THE WAY… I'VE STARTED THE SECOND BOOK AND I LOOOVE IT!)
Cammie's POV
If I saw Josh there, in my Gallagher Girl uniform, he would never trust me again.
Bex tried to take my mind off of Josh. She looked at the crude map that she was drawing.
"Well," She mumbled, "I could check the Pharmacy by myself, if you like, and you can wait outside for me."
I wondered how that could work out. But I didn't want to think about that now, so I changed the subject.
"Where do we go after the pharmacy?" I asked.
"Umm, How about..." Bex checked the map, "It seems like the Dance Studio." She shrugged, and we set off to the movie theater.
The streets were lit up by streetlights; which bathed the area in milky light. It would be the perfect for a date… but now is not the time to be a normal girl.
Now is the time to be a spy.
We entered the movie theater and split up. I had my cross necklace on, which was partially working. Liz helped me fix it a bit.
"Duchess!" I hissed. There was no answer; just a bit of static. I sighed and began to search for Liz. She would be hiding somewhere small, but then again, someone could hide her tiny figure just about anywhere in the theater. There were a lot of people there; but no one saw me. A good 'pavement artist' never gets caught. I searched in one of the theaters to see if Liz was in there. Nope. She wasn't in the next one, either. I angrily stormed out of the theater to find Bex.
Bex was standing near the garbage cans. She shook her head, giving me the signal that Liz wasn't where she checked, either. We started to walk to the Pharmacy. I was so worried. What if… wait. I can't think about that now. Not if I wanted to get a good grade. I needed to come back with Liz to be able to start doing Field-Work.
The Pharmacy had LED lights blaring in the windows. Bex walked in, her dark hair trailing behind her. I peered in through the windows. Bex waved me in from the inside, signaling that she didn't see Josh there. I snuck in. The buzzing lights above our heads gave me a headache; tempting me to go look for the Aspirin. I ran to the back room, hoping to find Liz.
I heard someone's muffled yelling from inside the closet and was relieved
when I found out that it was Liz, and not somebody else. I called for Bex, who was across the store looking from behind the ice-cream bar. I waved her over and she jumped the counter and ran over to where I was standing. Her caramel-colored hair flew out behind her as she ran.
She even looks like a model when she's doing something that a model would never do! I laughed to myself as I helped Bex untie Liz's gag.
"Thank you!" She whispered. "I was beginning to wonder is someone was ever going to come."
"Umm, aren't you guys forgetting about something?" Bex said, letting her accent slip for the moment.
"We have to go back to Solomon and tell him that we have found Liz." Bex finished, and began to start off for the door when we suddenly heard the little bell ring.
And in walked Josh.
